  • Title: Molecular cloning of the cDNA for human erythrocyte beta-spectrin.
    Author: Winkelmann JC, Leto TL, Watkins PC, Eddy R, Shows TB, Linnenbach AJ, Sahr KE, Kathuria N, Marchesi VT, Forget BG.
    Journal: Blood; 1988 Jul; 72(1):328-34. PubMed ID: 3390609.
    Abstract:
    Overlapping cDNA clones, totaling 3.3 kilobases (kb) in length, which encode over 50% of the human erythrocyte beta-spectrin subunit, were isolated by antibody screening of a lambda gt11 expression library constructed from human fetal liver mRNA. The amino acid sequence of the C-terminus of beta-spectrin was derived. The size of beta-spectrin mRNA in human erythroleukemia cells was found to be 7.5 kb. Erythrocyte beta-spectrin is encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 14, as determined by cDNA hybridization to human X mouse somatic cell hybrids.
